Once you go 1911 you won't go back.. l got my first 1911 when my uncle got back from WWI. He gave me his colt 45 from the army when I got old enough. And I've been hooked ever since.....
I picked up a Kimber Pro TLE II w/ the laser grips and I love it. To me a 1911 is a .45 ACP, nothing wrong with 9mm's as I just got me a RIA 1911 in 10mm. I have a few 1911's which I do carry often both full size and commander
